Update on waiting for ultrasound. I spoke to the surgeon who said it there is only a tiny chance that there is cancer in the node, the one that became enlarged when I had a gum/tooth infection. She can't get me in until 27 November for ultrasound and FNA, although she is trying to bring it forward. It's a hell of a long time to wait - from 15 October to 27 November but I feel reassured now I have spoken to her. I've had this before and had a similar wait ... Horrible thing to do to a cancer patient but I've become better at waiting. I've sort of got over that ghastly knot in the stomach and just feel "in the moment". It's different for me I think because I've had cancer four times and feel my luck has to run out at some stage. But I don't think it has yet.
